Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Prepare the sauce by whisking together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or additional oil if preferred).
Season the chicken fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the chicken fillets in the skillet and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the honey Dijon sauce into the same skillet. Let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken fillets to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Let them cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
